fix(provider): expose reliable Kimi thinking levels

[aGamingGod1234]

Older Kimi CLI releases collapse ACP thinking effort into a misleading single Thinking On value, so T3 appears to support thinking while low/high/max writes are unavailable. Kimi also had no package-aware update action in provider settings.

This requires Kimi CLI 0.29.0 or newer, where ACP advertises the real model-specific options, rejects unverified and prerelease versions below the stable minimum, and enforces that requirement at the server session-start boundary across web, mobile, and remote clients. Kimi is wired to the official @moonshot-ai/kimi-code package for version advisories and managed updates. The Kimi user docs explain the requirement.

Verification:

• 44 focused provider, adapter, and ACP tests pass
• authenticated real Kimi ACP CLI probe passes
• server typecheck passes
• targeted production lint and formatting pass

Implemented with GPT-5.6-sol via the T3 Code Codex harness.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Kimi provider now requires CLI version 0.29.0 or newer, reports errors for invalid versions, and skips ACP discovery when validation fails. Kimi maintenance now uses the @moonshot-ai/kimi-code package.

Changes

Kimi provider updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
CLI version validation and coverage apps/server/src/provider/Layers/KimiProvider.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Layers/KimiProvider.test.ts, docs/user/providers-kimi.md	The provider validates Kimi CLI versions against 0.29.0. Tests cover unsupported and unverifiable versions. Documentation states the version requirement.
Package-managed maintenance configuration apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/KimiDriver.ts	Kimi uses package-managed maintenance for @moonshot-ai/kimi-code. Homebrew and native update handlers remain unset.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes
